Children of the 80's probably remember when Dragon's Lair first showed up in their neighborhood arcade. Well Microsoft has announced that the Don Bluth classic Laserdisc choose-your-own-adventure will be coming soon to XBOX Live Arcade. The marketplace already an accompanying theme, gamerpics, and a trailer available.

According to the trailer, you will be able to play via controller, or by Kinect. Co-op is available (unknown at this time if co-op is online or local only), and you will be able to share your exploits via Kinect Photo Share.

There is the crazy HZ and the well refined logic and reasoning HZ. Both are pretty entertaining -Purple SantaI love that Hawk exists to make every decision I make, no matter how self-destructive, look wise by comparison. -OxI just realized that for the longest time I've been getting you and Karak mixed up. -fitbabits

Wow, I remember seeing that machine, and watching people fail, then not having the balls to try it. Except once, where I died quickly, and ran like a bitch. I may have to brave this again. Now that I am a grown ass man, and less of a bitch... sorta.

Dragon's Lair was rather fun. The sequels and most of the other laserdisc games, not so much. The reason for that is Dragon's Lair would mix things up, you'd encounter randomly selected challenges that you'd get slightly better at each time you came across that particular challenge. It was kinda like Warioware. Simple, fairly fun.

The sequels were almost entirely linear - you're literally just memorizing a series of direction buttons that let you see a little more of the funny cartoon.

There's also a "Watch Mode" where you can just kick back and watch the story unfold.

The little extra bitty in The Gunstringer made me nostalgic for the stuff. Was it a simple game? Sure. But it was in an age when most games were simple, and this had a sense of humour that many games lacked. Thus it's charm.

I want to know how co-op is supposed to work... unless they've re-animated it???
